Prior to the start of the 2018 MLB Draft, Central Michigan junior right-handed pitcher Michael Brettell was told he would be drafted late on the second day or early on the third day, which was around the 9-12th round.

Despite scoring five runs in the top of the ninth inning, the Central Michigan baseball team's attempt to comeback against No. 1 Kent State failed, losing 8-7 in the Mid-American Conference Tournament at Sprenger Stadium.
